Sankaracarya's Vivekachudamani 438

देहेन्द्रियादौ कर्तव्ये ममाहंभाववर्जितः ।
अउदासीन्येन यस्तिष्ठेत्स जीवन्मुक्तलक्षणः ॥

dehendriyādau kartavye mamāhaṃbhāvavarjitaḥ |
audāsīnyena yastiṣṭhetsa jīvanmuktalakṣaṇaḥ ||
(Sankaracarya's Vivekachudamani 438)

Free from the sense of "‖ and mine" with regard to the actions of the body, sense-organs etc. and living in a spirit of detachment---this is the indication of a jivan-mukta.

Those who would like to attain Jivan Mukta should be detached from the material world. Such a person should not have an ego that I am doing everything or this is mine and etc. All his senses will be utilized for the pleasure or service of the Lord.
